Pros

Great pay/benefits/retirement Many great coworkers

Cons

Terrible management, who is always looking for minor mistakes to rub your nose in. Very long hours, and many positions do not have hours of service constraints. During a service disruption when I was brand new I had to work 24.5 hours straight, and was the only person on the train required to do so.

Pros

Great Pay, Great work life balance, great people, great benefits, great 401K match

Cons

I suppose if you are looking to be a CEO your pay may not be the most compared to other railroads. But for front line, middle, and even upper management, the salaries are great.

Pros

Great friends and Travel with plenty to see

Cons

The culture is horrible it’s a very demeaning please. They will fire you for anything. Harassment amongst employees and by management to their employees Is extremely high. I have a MBA degree and I still can not move above the customer service level. I’m a union member and you have to pay union dues to work a non management position. The union Reps work for Amtrak to so there is a conflict of interest. The union is TCU in which they defend the company 100x harder than they do their members. TCU is not organized very well. The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr. As far as Work culture at Amtrak it is fueled by many rumors and those rumors are more affluent then your resume .
